Do you drink tap water or bottled water?

I'm a terrible person who drinks bottled water although our filtering system is one of the best in the world. I have no idea why.
 
Normally what I do now is that I take the water out of my cistern and then I boil it to make sure that I take all of the germs out of it and after that I will drink the water. I also like to drink bottled water but I have never really tried drinking water from the tap because I have always believe that doing that is not healty for the system.
 
Technically right....my water comes from the mains but goes through a refrigerator filter and is stored in the fridge until you need said water.

So where does that fall on this scale?

I drink bottled if I'm out, simply because its easier but if I'm at home I'll drink tap water or water from the fridge that is basically tap water but went through extra filtering and is cooled to almost freezing temperature.

You can't beat Scottish Water.
 
As a child, I used to always drink tap water. I don't think I actually tried bottled water until about the age of nine or ten – mainly because my parents were too penny pinching to buy it. Here in the UK as already stated, tap water is generally seen as safe just about everywhere and I've never had any effects from drinking it.

However once I started drinking bottled water more often (my mid teens, roughly), I found myself preferring that and now, I’ll very rarely drink tap water. I'll only drink it if I have to. 99 times out of 100 I'll take bottled water. I'm not that fussed on branding – anything will do. I'll just buy whatever pack of 12/24 (whatever) is on offer at the time. We are talking about me here – value is key!

I've drunk so much bottled water over the last 12-15 years that I can now actually taste the difference from region to region in tap water. For instance, I live a matter of seven/eight miles away from the North Wales border (I work a matter of a few hundred yards over/into the Welsh border!). The tap water has a funny 'tang' to it there. Down in Devon, the water is generally 'soft' and whilst it's perfectly safe, it can fur up kettles given time… I know it sounds odd, but there are several companies here in the UK which look after our water and they all have minor variances on how they make it safe for drinking.
